Introduction to Grasshoppers: Grasshoppers are complex insects and have many specifics when it comes to their body systems and functions. Grasshoppers, like all insects, have a three part body of a head, thorax, and abdomen.They also have compound eyes like other insects.However, their legs and wings set them apart from others because of the jumping legs as well as walking legs that they use and the layer of wings they use to fly.rasshoppers are invertebrates without a backbone but they do have a brain, while humans are vertebrates with a backbone but also have a brain. Grasshopper eyes are compound and are more effective than the ones of humans.
